Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to show *too* much skin if you're at the beach. If you're a shy girl, know that you can still create winning looks without doing so. Just ask Julia Barretto—the actress shows a preference for being more ~bundled up~ when hitting the waves, but she still looks great! Just check out her Instagram photos for proof:

4. Hanging out at the beach can get chilly, especially when it's close to nighttime, so take a leaf from Julia's book and go for a tank top (with cut-outs to keep things ~interesting~) and loose, breathable bottoms.
